How much protein do I need a day if I weight 150?
I weigh 150 lbs and I am 5'9", closer to 5'10". I want to know how much protein I need to eat a day to gain muscle because I have been eating 140 grams of protein a day, some days maybe a little more or little less. I don't want it to make me fat so I want to make sure I am doing it right and I need some help on what to do. I also run 2 miles everyday and usually lift every day with dumbbells and stuff, I don't bench or squat though if that has any impact.
How much protein does one need to gain weight?
One gram of protein contains 4 calories which is equal to carbs. But carbs are easy to digest as compared to protein and thus you wont gain substantial amount of weight by just consuming protein alone.Also, if you are underweight then you should try to gain weight by increasing muscle mass and not by fats. So best strategy is to be in surplus calories while doing some weight training.Its a long process and there is no shortcut if you want to grow bigger in healthy way. Eat clean carbs and include healthy fats with moderate amount of protein. This will automatically help you in weight gain. Don’t go for mass gainer if you are not hitting gym. Just eating access calories for the sake of weight isnt a good solution. If you are just skinny and have no health issues like weakness, difficulty in breathing or sort of problems, you shouldn’t worry about the weight :). Most of the population struggling to loose weight anyways. If you still want to put on some weight, gain muscles and not the fat.Muscle gain is a slow process and requires great amount of patience. Most of the people stop going gym because they dont see frequent changes in their body. My advice is..go to gym and workout seriously without keeping any goal in mind. Goals like, I want six pack abs before New Year or something is not going to help much as your body will take its own time to grow depending upon how much efforts you are putting into it. Plus, never overdo with one particular thing in life..it never helps.Go to gym keeping in mind that you just want to be healthy. Eat healthy and balanced food. You will see the results and you will feel great in sometime.Cheers
